Oxford House - Naz

Oxford House, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1975 that provides self-run, self-supported recovery homes for individuals recovering from drug and alcohol addiction through the innovative Oxford House Model. This evidence-based approach creates democratically governed, gender-specific residences where members live together in a 100% drug- and alcohol-free environment, sharing equal responsibilities for house operations, finances, and chores without external authority or time limits on stays. Emphasizing recovery, responsibility, and replication, Oxford House fosters long-term sobriety, leadership skills, and self-efficacy, with studies showing over 80% of residents maintaining abstinence after one year. Serving diverse populations including men, women with children, veterans, and those with co-occurring disorders across more than 3,500 houses in 47 states, the model integrates with AA/NA participation and supports community expansion through technical assistance, charters, and alumni involvement to ensure accessible, affordable sober living that treats the whole person and prevents relapse.
